Hibiscrub Disinfectant Solution

What is Hibiscrub used for?

Disinfection (removal of surface bacteria) of the skin. Hibiscrub contains chlorhexidine gluconate in the form of an alcoholic solution. Chlorhexidine gluconate is an antiseptic effective against a wide range of bacteria, yeasts, some fungi and viruses. It is most active at a neutral or alkaline conditions. Its activity is reduced by the presence of blood or body fluids. It binds strongly to skin, mucosa and other tissues and is therefore poorly absorbed.

Hibiscrub is used routinely as an antiseptic hand-washing preparation and as a skin cleanser for patients undergoing surgery.
